Southwire 90208802 Extension Cord 12/3 Awg 15A 125V

Product Description

The SOUTHWIRE 90208802 is a 12/3 AWG heavy-duty extension cord rated for 15 amps at 125 volts, built for use in indoor, outdoor, and wet locations. The STW-A cord type designation indicates a thermoplastic jacket rated for wet and dry service, making it suitable for demanding job-site conditions. With three conductors and a single receptacle, this cord provides a reliable power path for tools and equipment where a standard cord would be inadequate. The yellow jacket increases visibility on active work sites. Electricians and contractors reach for this cord when a durable, code-compliant extension is required in challenging environments.

This extension cord is designed for professional and trade use across residential, commercial, and industrial job sites. The 12-gauge conductors support higher-draw tools and equipment while minimizing voltage drop over the cord run. Its wet-location rating makes it appropriate for exterior construction, pool and landscape service, and any application where moisture exposure is a factor. The NEMA 5-15P plug and L5-20R receptacle configuration allows connection to standard 15-amp household-style outlets while providing a locking receptacle output for secure equipment connections.
